West Norwood Retailers - Removal of Parking Facilities

We the undersigned petition the council not to remove parking facilities in West Norwood

Were you consulted or even just informed that the pavement
widening would remove the existing parking and retail delivery
access?
Do you have constant complaints from customers re loss of parking
and lack of information for any alternative parking?

On reaching 1500 signatures The relevant officer will be called to an Overview and Scrutiny committee meeting

Council response

An independent consultation exercise was carried out to inform
the designs and widening of pavements at this location. This
consultation exercise and proposals were informed by published
Council policy, the published local Masterplan as well as Mayoral
priorities articulated in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy.
Delivery access has been provided through the provision of a
loading bay which allows long vehicles to load and unload.
The Council has listened to concerns of traders and
provided/re-designated parking bays in the local area to meet these
concerns and produced some new signage and maps. Alongside these
new designations, provision at the junctions of Chestnut Road and
Chatsworth Way has offset any loss on Norwood Road. It is
anticipated given the significant level of local investment in
infrastructure in West Norwood (for example the leisure centre,
library, cinema and cemetery), the robust transport provision
between West Norwood and Tulse Hill and the increased pedestrian
footfall in the area that this will enable Norwood Road to be a
thriving high street

the background to the exercise
